In a related move, the English Touring Opera (ETO) has announced that it will permanently relocate to Sheffield within two years. The company plans to open a temporary base in Sheffield this year and occupy a permanent headquarters by 2025. ETO was founded to bring opera to areas of the country that would not usually have access to productions. Sheffield City Council expressed delight at the news, highlighting the city's vibrant arts and creativity scene. ETO already has an established relationship with Sheffield's Lyceum Theatre, which has hosted many of its touring shows. This relocation demonstrates the company's commitment to expanding its reach and bringing opera to new audiences. [9f61360b]
